  - foo

docker.image¶

since 2018-10-20, removed 2019-08-02 (v0.114.0)

This property was deprecated in favor of more flexible image_templates. The idea is to be able to define several images and tags using templates instead of just one image with tag templates. This flexibility allows images to be pushed to multiple registries.

dockers:
- image: foo/bar
  tag_templates:
    - '{{ .Tag }}'

After

dockers:
- image_templates:
    - 'foo/bar:{{ .Tag }}'

docker.tag_templates¶

since 2018-10-20, removed 2019-08-02 (v0.114.0)

This property was deprecated in favor of more flexible image_templates. The idea is to be able to define several images and tags using templates instead of just one image with tag templates.

Before

dockers:
- image: foo/bar
  tag_templates:
    - '{{ .Tag }}'

After

dockers:
- image_templates:
    - 'foo/bar:{{ .Tag }}'

git.short_hash¶

since 2018-10-03, removed 2019-01-19 (v0.98.0)

This property was being used to tell GoReleaser to use short git hashes instead of the full ones. This has been removed in favor of specific template variables (.FullCommit and .ShortCommit).

Before

git:
  short_hash: true

fake:
  foo_template: 'blah {{ .Commit }}'

After

fake:
  foo_template: 'blah {{ .ShortCommit }}'

fpm¶

since 2018-02-17, removed 2017-08-15 (v0.83.0)

FPM is deprecated in favor of nfpm, which is a simpler alternative written in Go. The objective is to remove the ruby dependency thus simplify the CI/CD pipelines.

Just replace the fpm keyword by nfpm in your goreleaser.yaml file.

Before

fpm:
  # ...

After

nfpm:
  # ...

since 2018-01-19, removed 2017-08-15 (v0.83.0)

dockers:
- image: foo/bar
  tag_templates:
    - '{{ .Tag }}'
